1. Good tunes in the Lounge tonight.

2. Is Hey Joe

the OJ song?

3. i think so

how did this song get so popular to be covered by Cher and Jimi?

it's just a guy murdering his "woman"

:shrug:

[Ptah]

5. It has always bothered me.

:scared:

[Lethe]

6. i still like the Hendrix cover

it's a classic, but the the lyrics are dumb

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. Never heard it called that, but I can see why --

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand

I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
And that ain't too cool

Hey Joe, I've heard you shot your woman down,
Shot her down, now
I said I've heard you shot your old lady down,
You shot her down to the ground

Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught her messin' round, messin' round town
Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught my old lady messin' around town
And I gave her the gun
I SHOT HER!

Hey Joe, alright
Shoot her one more time, baby

Hey Joe, said now
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said where you gonna run to now?
Where you, where you gonna go?
Well, dig it

I'm goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way
Alright!
I'm goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me

Ain't no hangman gonna,
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it right now
I gotta go now
Hey Joe, you better run on down
Good by everybody
Hey Joe, uhh
Run on down

[Ptah]

7. Bad news. Add "The thunder rolls"

And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

[Lethe]

8. and that Dixie Chick's song about Earl

that always bothered me too...

even though Earl was an asshole according to them....

[Ptah]

Chicago
